Daniel Lyell, of Estes Park, says he followed the bear inside and took a photo of it while trying to warn customers up front that a bear was walking toward them. He says customers didn't seem to notice. The bear left a short time later.

The bar's owner and bartender didn't see the bear either, but a surveillance camera shows it ambling past empty tables and chairs.

Bar owner David Callahan tells the Estes Park Trail-Gazette this is the second time he knows of that a bear has entered the saloon.
